CMS Virtual Visit from USA

Tuesday 29 Sept 2020, 20:00 → 21:00 Europe/Zurich

3562 R-020 (CERN)

This CMS Virtual Visit is the first one attended by the SPD (Simulating Particle Detection) of the University of Maryland’s FIRE program in College Park, USA. The SPD stream serves about 25 undergraduate students every year, introducing them to the cutting-edge science conducted at the CMS experiment. The students and the experienced student mentors of the research group apply basic computing to analyze simulated data of the CMS upgrades, and gain experience in the transferable skills utilized in experimental high energy research. CMS Virtual Visit is the SPD group’s biggest field trip of the year. The students are excited to visit the detector in real-time and are grateful to the CMS Virtual Visit organizing team!
